I heard he needs 50 18 wheelers to pack all the stuff for the show .
There were a shitload of them parked all in one lot off river road near the softball field.

Meh that sounds a little high… Garth doesn’t get what the secondary market gets it up to
Every ticket was priced the same from front row to nose bleed. It was $96 including fees.
Now if someone paid more on the secondary market, that sucks

Singers like Taylor Swift bank about $4 million per stop and that’s when they do arenas. So for Garth in a stadium show I would probably guess somewhere between $5 to $7 million.

How much does the drummer make? What about the backup singers ?
Not much. Watch Hired Gun on Netflix. When Jason Newstead started playing with Metallica. He said he made $500 for a show playing in front of 1/2 million people in Russia. The drummer for 3 Doors down said he worked as a house painter to supplement his income.
Hired Gun
A documentary film about session and touring musicians that are hired by well established and famous bands and artists like Metallica, KISS, and Billy Joel.

I think as the name suggests that's for guys who get picked up for a few shows or a tour. Garth's drummer has been with him for decades (like most of the band) and I'm pretty sure he's a very wealthy individual.

Billy Joels drummer was in the documentary. He worked for Billy for 10+ years and had financial trouble. He was fired when he asked Billy for a small loan and they never spoke again.
Not in the documentary but the drummer for Alabama made about $45,000-100,000 a year back in the day when they toured heavily.
While his rock’n’roll image was a key part of the band’s marketing strategy, he was paid as little as $45,000 during some of the group’s peak commercial years in the early 1980s, he says during the interview. He was able to negotiate an increase to around $60,000 later in the decade, he says, and finally topped $100,000 in the 1990s.

Sounds like Billy Joel is just a dick?

Newstead has also said he made enough on “...and justice” that everything else has been gravy money. Never mind the black album was even bigger.
Garth probably banked $6 million. Logistics was easily $1-2 million. Promoters get their palms greased as well.

That grass is those maintenance guy's life. I can't imagine the feeling of 10k people and a stage trampling all over your hard work.
The entire field was covered with interlocking floor tiles, and they are not down long enough to kill the grass. Someone posted a photo of the turf in AR after Garth’s show, it looked fine.

Around the time Sammy Hagger joined Van Halen bass player Michael Anthony was reduced to a contract employee of the band and was paid a flat fee for each live show he played.
